Resumo
Magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) have been used in a great variety of biomedical applications, especially in cancer treatment, drug delivery, and diagnosis by magnetic resonance imaging. Embryonic stem cells (ESCs), due to its capacity of auto-renewal and differentiation in some types of
cells, offer a great potential for its use in tissue regeneration and in alternative treatments for many degenerative diseases. The study had as aims: i) to evaluate in vitro citotoxicity of maghemite nanoparticles functionalized with lauric acid, DMSA, and citrate in human melanoma cells (SK-MEL-37) by the MTT assay, electronic microscopy, and DNA electroforesis by agarose gel; ii) to develop a culture system using the previously selected MNPs and a magnet to expand in vitro murine embryonic stem cells (mESCs) in the absence of a co-culture of murine embryonic fibroblasts (MEF) (the indifferentiated state of the mES was analyzed by alkaline phosphatase cytochemistry, electronic microscopy, and analysis of Oct-4 and Nanog gene expression by RT-PCR); iii) to isolate and expand ESCs from bovine blastocysts, and to characterize its pluripotency by analysis of Oct-4 and STAT-3
gene expression by RT-PCR. The MNPs coated with lauric acid, citrate, and DMSA showed no citotoxicity, judging by the high values of IC50 found (254, 433 and 2260 μg-iron/ml, respectively), and that the nanoparticles coated with citrate was chosen to expand the mESCs. The doubling time for
the cells cultivated in the presence of MNPs was slightly higher than in the presence of MEF (20.67 ± 0.19 vs. 15.95 ± 0.21) (p= 0.001). The mESCs cultivated in the presence of MNPs showed morphology similar to ESCs, and its pluripotency was confirmed by expression of indifferentiation markers Oct-4 and Nanog by RT-PCR and high alkaline phosphatase activity. One bovine embryonic stem cell (bESCs) line was obtained and maintained by six subcultures for 60 days period. The pluripotency of the bESCs was confirmed morphologically as well as by Oct-4 e STAT-3 gene expression
